CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

II. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any ‘dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

Ill. Identification and devosit by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot shall 
be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
ecard giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 

A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices as may be required. ; ; 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so pur- 
chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter the property is at the purchasers’ risk, and neither the consignor nor the 
Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, 
breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. i 

V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon 
payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. ; 

VI. Receipted bills: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted 
bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order 
by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a 
receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should 
immediately notify the Association of such loss. 

VII. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not 
paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following 
that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to 
and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser. 
and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against 
the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
be upon the purchaser. 

In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the 
day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any 
other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots 
included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to 
re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the 
buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses 
sustained in so doing. 

VIII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to pur- 
chasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; 
doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and 
charges of the parties engaged for such service. 

IX. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, 
defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and 
no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloging or imper- 
fection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘as is” and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or mcre days prior to its sale, and the Asso- 
ciation will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that 
any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot 
as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become 
responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation, 

X. Records: The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to 
be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and 
seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie. 

_ XI. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if conditions permit, 
will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made 
will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase 
of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his 
agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be 
returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded 
if the lot differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as 
to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, 
but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot. and when the 
lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of arts, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Asso- 
et a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also 

e given. 

_ Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copy- 
ing the necessary information from the records of the Association. 

These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or by an officer 


of the Association.

appears the foliage of trees and bushes in the gardens beyond. The 
sea water in the foreground laps the wall, except at a place on the left 
where there is a little space of land. Here a doorway gives access 
to the garden. Over all, a summer sky of blue with some white clouds 
at the horizon.

ance of a semi-tropical climate, descends toward the spectator between 
green banks topped by dense tree growths and brightened on their 
flanks by thriving wildflowers. Arching the ravine in the foreground 
is a fallen tree, meeting the bent trunk of another on the farther side. 
Coming down the ravine toward the spectator, a troop of sheep, brown, 
black and white, the sunshine slanting across their abundant coats.

vested grain. In a shaded hollow of the foreground a young mother 
seated on the grass, with golden sheaves about her, holds an infant on 
her lap who is pleased with an apple. <A refreshment basket is beside 
her, and a smiling English maiden who looks toward the spectator and 
a younger girl and boy share in the joy of a harvest picnic. In the 
distance, the laboring harvesters are busy cutting and loading.

and the shadows cast by neighboring trees. <A line of trees in summer 
foliage, to right of centre, leads to a wooded valley in the background 
bounded by distant hills. In the sunshine to left of the trees a peasant 
woman in blue and red and white walks toward the wooded valley.

AND THEIR YOUTHFUL COW HERD 


Height, 29 inches; length, 45 inches 


Tue westering sun, unseen, is low at the left and sends horizontal rays 
across a rugged landscape of green and browning knolls, displaying 
their crests and westerly flanks in a soft luminosity, in the middle 
distance, while distant hills and a foreground pond lie in relative 
shadow. Winding over the leas, more or less in single line, comes a 
herd of cattle, their red and fulvous coats glowing softly in the waning 
light. On one a cheerful small boy in green breeches is mounted, and 
he waves aloft a whip as he faces the spectator. The leaders of the 
herd are already drinking at the pond. At right some sheep.

Height, 31 wmches; length, 5014 inches 


Snow covers the ground, and weighs upon stumps and brush at either 
side of a road that winds along the edge of a wood, and upon ever- 
greens at the left. In the foreground the atmosphere is clear, but soon 
becomes hazy—at the left only dimly obscurant, and at the right 
thickening to a smoky hue over darkening depths of the wood. In the 
central middle distance, at the curve of the road, stands a tandem 
team of brown horses, attached to a sledge and headed toward the 
spectator, their driver busy stacking on his sledge logs from a high 
snow-covered pile beside him.

sombre in color. 
Another important picture is Dau- 
yigny’s “After the. Rain,’ depicting a 
group of trees by a lake in a bare deso- 
ate stretch of country under a sky filed 
vith rolling clouds. This picture
